You'll need to copy everything out of the official MyDocuments. MikeR

My Documents folder
No!
Right click the desktop. Select New *Shortcut* - not folder. Browse to the My Documents folder. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MikeR wrote: ++++Jack++++ wrote: Win 98 SE..

My Documents folder
But answering Yes to the original dialog would accomplish the same thing.

My Documents folder
Not really. It would create a further folder rather than a shortcut to the
original. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

My Documents folder
Yes he did, but they will not be synched using your method.
The "real" one on the desk top is synched with the one at C:\ in Win 98. It is also synched in later version of Windows, although the path is far more complex and there may be more than one, profile dependent. "MikeR" wrote: Graham Mayor wrote: No!
